How Many Watermelons to grow per plant?

[@jtampa3]

Awesome video, I tried my hand at growing watermelons this year in my back yard. I've never seen my kids so happy and focus on gardening until they popped out the ground,

[@jeffwindrim975]

I talked to you last year about growing watermelons and yes I have to agree less is more and the size of the watermelon is more satisfying. Thanks for all your advice Bear Brown 👍

@@GrowSomethingTasty I found a new package of watermelon seeds so I planted 12-14 of them around the property and while I was at it I planted some pumpkin seeds I will let you know how things work out later this year.

[@Carbman]

I tried something new this year..instead of planting them in my garden, I used my tiller and spaced 12 big holes at the end of my garden, made hills and planted 3 per hole. Theyre looking great in the virgin soil and i know they'll appreciate all the free space

[@patrese1hopkins451]

I, too, am trying my hand at growing melons. My husband just found this video for me, and we watched it. I am new at this and have multiple plants in one pot, about 4-7 inches tall. My challenge will be getting them all out without damaging the roots and plants, then transferring them to the ground. Any suggestions?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

@patrese1hopkins451 I think some of the roots will get damaged. The roots are mostly likely entangled. You can try taking the entire soil out of the container and get the water hose, and wash the soil away gently until the soil is gone and remove them that way. The other option is just to grab the soil and break them up that way.

First time I grew the Crimson Sweet variety, ( those are 35 lb melons on average) I didn't know you had to prune them. I used chicken manure for fertilizer, and man! I had vines for 2 blocks. The vines were growing up my fence into the neighbor's yard.... I had a lot of watermelons but they were smaller and the flavor and sweetness was lacking. Watermelons are heavy feeders, and I fertilize them every two weeks..Going for the sugar babies this year...Thanks Bear.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Michael, you don't have too but they vines are going to run like you said. You will have more melons, but they will be smaller because there are so many. I prune for size now and to stop the jungle of vines, lol. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Great information! I just found your channel and have watched about 5 of your videos. I've struggled growing watermelons over the last couple of years. I'm in zone 6 and thought that maybe my climate wasn't suitable. But after seeing some of your techniques I'm going to try this thing again. A quick tip that you might want to use in your garden...ad some flowers. Flowers or pollinators will help attract beneficial insects that will help control the insect pests and your wife will appreciate the beauty they bring to garden. Keep growing something tasty.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Jamaal!!! Yes, try it again!!! If you have a shorter growing season, pick some varieties that grow sooner. Thanks for the tip. I am going to try to plant flowers. Most of my flowers did not come up. I should have bought some. Let me know how your melon season goes. Thanks for watching and responding.

[@iamcancer3298]

Garlic , mint , lavender and some others are good for keeping pest away. Also if you can get an abundance of ladybugs, or praying mantis. They will do a clean sweep on pest.👍

[@OoooshetriesSs]

If I may add something u wanna add that won’t take things over, marigold & basil. Marigold releases a scent in the soil that drives pest away.

I use fish fertilizer and water that in by hand. Ive found it safe enough to fertilize over the leaves if i water the crop directly after basically washing off the leaves. My 1 acre crop im using drip hose to the main stock vine. Basically your advice has got me to the point im at now and everything is going smooth.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Billy, do you have flowers? If so, it could be that you don't have any pollinators. I would plant flowers by to bring in the bees. You can hand pollinate the flowers to make sure you have pollination. If you don't have flowers, there could be a nutrient imbalance. Too much nitrogen will encourage green growth and barely any flowering. Watermelons love full sun, make sure it has that. Thanks for watching and commenting.

How did you make the holes in your water bottle? Neat idea!

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO @ sn232, I used a soldering iron to make the holes. I'm going to do a video on how I made it soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello Mr Brown, I’m glad to hear you had a couple of days off, I hope you got some well deserved rest. As usual I have a question; do you think it’s ok to plant those green onions in with the watermelon versus in the bottle?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

I think it's okay, I have never done it. This is my first time with the bottle. I'm just not afraid to try new things. Some subscribers said to plant radishes around them to fight against the squash bugs

[@meka5163]

Ok thank you

[@AnarchAnjel]

Ive heard guineas will eat squash bugs as well as ticks and dont bother the garden. My chickens ate the squash bugs , unless the neem/ hemp peppermint soap killed them? But they also ate my cherry tomatoes. Seen something I've never seen before this year. Sqaush bug eggs on a tomato leaf, Course I cut it off and threw it into a cup of dawn soap.

When do you start trimming the leafs off the main vine

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Mr. William, when I see a baby watermelon, I cut the vine right after it. I did two shorts on it 7 days apart to show the massive growth. The short was called watermelon pruning and watermelon pruning result part 2.

First time to your Channel, Great information Thank you

HELLO Cicistexasgarden, I'm glad you stopped by. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.

What types of pest specifically invade the plant? I had a hard time understanding what you were talking about. Also, what type of fertilizer would you recommend, and again, can you be specific? Thank you.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Paula!!! The squash bugs are a killer, aphids, spider mites, or cucumber beetles. I use compost tea, fish fertilizer, and compost. You can youtube how to make compost tea bear brown to see how I make the compost tea.

[@paulastafford1642]

@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you. I do use fish fertilize once every two weeks and garden tone twice a season. Thank you again.

HELLO Jai, thanks for watching and commenting.

Did your expeirmiinet work -- the green onions?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Jose! I like to think it did for bugs because I saw no bug pressure in that area but the plant died. The onions did not stop the field rats and rabbits. I did not know I had them inside my fence. They put town house near us but they cut down the fields and the animals found my garden. I'm still have problems.

[@williamsfamily3192]

Hello please tell me how you start… do u direct sow or do u soak them first. I’m getting my onions ready. Do u buy onions and stick in holes? ❤

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Hello, I plant onion seeds in trays first, then plant them. I would only by the starts, not the onion sets. The onion sets are a second year onion. They won't get big at all. I soak my watermelon seeds. I started everything in trays since I have woodchips all over the place

[@victoriamartin1032]

I really enjoyed your video. Trying to grow watermelon for the first time ever… I loved ur idea with the onions!! I wonder if u can do that with garlic too or will it affect the watermelon flavor?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Victoria, I believe you can do it, and it's not an issue. I had garlic in pots around my plants this year. That's great you are growing watermelons for the first time. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@hermanmason9635]

Which melon to pick off the firstor the second to get a large melon?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

I leave the one that looks the healthiest. I don't want one that to far from the base of the plant.

[@hermanmason9635]

@@GrowSomethingTasty so you saying the first one that grows so you can cut the oyhers off

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

@hermanmason9635 I will make sure it is pollinated first. If it looks healthy, I will keep it, then cut the rest off if you are trying to grow the biggest melon. I did that for that 46-pound melon this year.

[@bluntv1]

When does the growing season start.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO @bluntv1, you start planting them in spring. It takes about 100 days to go to full term. Thanks for watching and for your question.
